"Read [www.]CHOMSKY.INFO" (Be it a Harvard Subway in Cambrdige, MA or anywhere in the United States...)

On the railings outside my local train station at Harringay, in north London, someone has carefully placed a series of small white stickers. The stickers, all at eye level, are designed, I suppose, to be the first thing you see on the way to work and the last thing you see on your way home. They are all neatly typed with two words: READ CHOMSKY. Most mornings I find myself wondering for an instant whether the words are an imperative ('If you do nothing else today...'), or a swaggering boast (along the lines of some of the station's other typical graffiti: 'Shagged Karen', say).

The "Read Chomsky.info" pronouncement is not that at all, it is meant as: "persuade others to persuade themselves" and "read" includes not just excerpts and more at www.chomsky.info but books, essays, talks over 40 years. And needless to say "read" means to doing so critically as you would any writing or listening to a talk, etc.

"the precautionary principle." What's that? (Integrating Link) is below. (mindful of the academics taking about the "history" or about their book might have not mentioned anything about the U.S. role, some migth say

Petrina, WZBC, Flyweight, noted a lecture on nonverbal communication so again maybe there's a chance for a Concert and Peace Report.

Dave Rovics, once said he thought all NCR shows were archived via the virtually unlimited storage resources but this is not the case. All NCR's art, (citizen) activism, anarchy, unless taped by a listener, or unlikely - though wishfully - shows are manually saved to CD, it will be heard by available but
underutilized live "streaming" webcast and radio listeners, hopefully preserved in memory and reflection.

It now appears some archiving actually takes place though it appears the www.wbur.org and www.wbur.edu do not necessarily point to the same web pages. One pages shows links for .m3u files for last two shows and another shows just the file name without link. G/E would like ot see less overaching proprietary software blanket or at minimum facilitate the scattering that there is a choice between non-free, proprietary, and free software (in sense of "four freedoms").

G/H hopes to convert some notes into an informal history of NCR guests, songs, an of course art, anarchy and fun.

be noted that some students ought support their school's radio station

relation to sweatshop actions some schools, students and others involved
are changing such connections.

Activists and computer experts around the U.S. have become increasingly
concerned that the electronic voting machines being phased in may have
basic flaws in their design, allowing errors and potentially large-scale
fraud. FSRN broadcast a special on the whole issue of voting processes
on July 4th called Hacking
Democracy, that can be heard by visiting our website, www.fsrn.org.
Last week, the voting machine story sparked global interest with the
publication of an independent scientific review of the voting software
of one company. One of the scientists calls the software "amazingly and
astonishingly wrong." Pokey Anderson brings us the latest.

Virtual Support of Community-Campus Radio, (indy) Book Shops, What's a www.freemanz.com? :)

Connecting patrons and curious seekers of Revolution Books (Cambridge, MA, USA -or any number of community resources, Lucy Parsons) with independent book shops, websites, community radio, and more resources regarding a way to link virtual and actual
support of such sources with those who are grateful or have come to expect such resources.

A link between them and (www.affero,net, .org. .com - still one of the few that wisely uses three domains) Affero (www.affero.net) to direct support to someone of their choosing. ( details)

Also along the lines to someone who walked into a shop and asked about, for example:

Deterring Democracy (one example whereby www.aferro.net could be utilized as a way for someone accessing various forms of digital content to say thanks in a way by not only getting the book and
sharing it with others but in thanks for being able to access the online content to say thanks and have a supportive donation go to an organization of their choice, IndyMedia, Revolution Books, www.freemanz.com, and any number of community-campus and U.S.
radio programs as noted in AirwaveWEB

In thinking about one such shop in Lynn (MA) there's certainly nothing to prevent a form of *lynn*.indymedia.org, etc. from connecting with people in the area regarding "low prices, low wages, low on the dignity scale". While on it, connecting people in Lynn, Revere, and other areas around Boston (any city) as a way to connect with Free Speech Radio News and various community radio also isn't prevented. Taking the form used by FSRN as noted on the Labor Day special (n
etwork of worldwide reporters) who bring together each newscast. A form of that also for Boston area (and again other areas) reporters, more formally connecting sister stations and resources to mind the gaps between what already exists; on the FSRN "mod
el' but interconnect many local-to-global community news areas in a bi-directional and multifarious way.

An example, or trend maybe, a form of underwriting peace and justice
began this week. DN!. which
can be heard (AirwaveWEB)
each weekday from noon to 1 p.m. on www.wzbc.org, 90.3 FM, began being
sponsored (the concept can be neutral, like "media" not defaulting to
corporate relations) by Whats
Up Magazine.

Much more in the spirit of flyer postings and such, CommunityAds, can be
done, including pointers to action, events, talks, information,
resources, connecting with IMC Center and Newswire articles.

Independent of technical abilities of IMC more of what surely already
occurs can happen more often by connections being formed by article
postings and individuals and organizations in a Mind the Independent
Media Gap way. Also, IMC postings do not have to be treated as a serial
pool of information, last in first "read", there ought to be follow-up
and more connections to actions resulting from awareness of concerns.

For instance as noted further below, for anyone who thought
uncritically maybe that the U.S. hands out candy and democracy all
throughout the world: in the 'Forward Strategy for Democracy', noted,
apparently for anyone who didn't already know about the U.S. support
for dictators of capitalism in efforts to secure stabilty for profits
and generally prevent the 'threat of a good example'.

It is the response to this 'news' that ought matter; hopefuly t r
u t h o u t and others will highlight this.

Yes, glad to see a reference to the radio in Boston, the world via webcasting! The Local Edition (Thursday 6 p.m., www.wmbr.org, 88.1 FM, -why isn't the news more prominent at this site? reminder: Fundraising-a-thon next week! I recall Mark Weaver saying last year that monies are needed just to maintain existing equipment in addition to updates or equipment and needs).

As I note elsewhere, in reference to ActIndy, it is now safe for underwritten, 'thank our corporate underwritters' radio to mention Amer Jubran.

No where near updated, Boston's AirwaveWEB Radio Program Notes and Connections in addition or complementing those (aim not to be redundant!) of Radio with a View, Sounds of Dissent, etc.

Not them, but one form of state, I mean, public radio, specifically one
of the two 'NRP radio stations in Boston whereby as of November 7, 2003
it was "safe" to mention
Amer Jubran during 'Headline, hourly local? news.

Along these lines F.A.I.R. was
mentioned on the same radio station in one of their programs; not as
explicit as this, but the name Fairness and Accuracy in reportiong was
actually noted by someone other than a caller. In was in context of
being critical or reflecting reality about a former president. In came
up that even programs that are not documentaries ought to strive for
truth. Why not the sme standard applied to news as pointed out by a
caller.

reference, but a station cross-reference!

From Channel 4 News cache:

While the world's attention has been fixed on the war in Iraq,
Dispatches reporter Sandra Jordan and producer Rodrigo Vasquez risk
their lives to reveal the shocking level of daily violence and murderous
hate in the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian civilians live under the threat of Israeli Defence Force
attacks that do not discriminate between militants and children. Israeli
setlers live in fear of suicide attacks.

But it is not only Palestinians and Israelis who are dying. Since the
Gulf war, three Westerners have come under Israeli army attack.

An American peace activist was crushed to death by an IDF bulldozer; a
British peace protester was shot in the head by an IDF sniper and
remains in a coma; and last weekend, a British cameraman was shot dead
by the IDF.

Within hours of arriving Sandra and Rodrigo are shot at and tear-gassed
by Israeli troops breaking up a memorial service for Rachel Corrie, an
American peace activist crushed by an Israeli Army bulldozer two days
before.

That sets the tone for a five-week stay in which they document the
shooting by Israeli troops of the British peace campaigner Tom Hurndall,
the death of James Miller, the award-winning cameraman who worked
extensively for Channel 4, killed as he filmed Israeli troops bulldozing
Palestinian homes, and the deaths and mutilation of many innocent
Palestinians and Israelis.

The Dispatches team reveals what life is like in what has become a fully
blown war zone. Their film captures the aftermath of an Israeli missile
attack that assassinates a leader of the deadly Hamas group. Children
who happen to be playing in the street nearby are killed or have limbs
blown off.

They film the aftermath of an attack in which Israeli troops fire
modified tank shells that explode in mid air above densely populated
civilian areas and spray thousands of razor sharp darts, or flechettes,
in an arc some 300 metres long and 90 metres wide. The team encounters
sniper fire from Israeli watchtowers, and endures tank shelling
alongside a class of terrified school children.

In one of the most shocking moments in the film, Dispatches captures
heartbreaking scenes in a Palestinian hospital minutes after Tom
Hurndall was shot through the head, rescuing a seven-year-old child
sheltering from gunfire.

While Hurndall lies in a corner, kept alive by a life support machine,
his colleagues and Palestinian doctors negotiate frantically with the
IDF to transfer him to an Israeli hospital, and to obtain safe passage
for the Palestinian ambulance that will carry him. Hours later, with the
help of the British Embassy they finally succeed, and embark on a
hazardous journey to the Egyptian border. Hurndall remains in a coma.

Jordan and Vasquez also investigate the death of James Miller, the
award-winning cameraman. They find that eyewitnesses tell a story
sharply at variance with the official Israeli account.

Since September 2000, some 2,000 Palestinians have been killed by the
Israeli Defence Forces, who routinely use F16 fighter jets, helicopter
gunships and tanks to bomb and shell densely populated Palestinian
residential areas. The victims include some 350 children.

In the same period Palestinian armed groups have killed more than 700
Israelis, including some 90 children. The victims were all killed in
deliberate attacks, including suicide bombings.

Edward Said who is connected beyond his citing one of her letters.
RIP can be the base of, and for, many people expressing a desire for
peace in no way discounted as being idealistic or like fresh air, who
could not wish it, but with underlying foundations of consistent
principles, unlike 'spreading democracy' throughout the world via
'installing' dictators, for everyone, everywhere, with practical and
realistic ways of achieving, like truth, the best or ever further
extension of an example of an ideal.

I share a general letter I sent to a NU (Northeastern University)
"Antiwar" student group who I would add ought include in attendence at
open public events more people who like students represent the
community, in order to complement their efforts and concerns. The same
goes from strengthening connections between organizations, across
communities too more sharing in efforts that connect the local-glbal
spere of covern. In teh case of ISM and many others in terms of who is
aware and connected to their efforts it might be akin to saying what is
likely a fact that Noam Chomsky is much more known throughout the world
than in the United States, or even of issues of geographical historical
proximity to them far too many people in the U.S. ought know and reflect
and react on matters related to Latin American and much else
throughtout.

This began as a comment about reference
and "events" in general at NEU and in Boston area.

During the summer I probably had a similar comment when I commented how
so often flyers I posted about "community" radio and events, (Active)
Citizen Resources, lasted maybe a day or two. I contacted SLAP, another
student group, to ask if they notice similar things, or if they would
suggest another place in addition to student center to post items but,
as all too often I got no response.

I would hope to see anyone who post events and is connected with
organizations, to provide reference links to websites and complement
with phone numbers and generally provide as much information as possible
to connect broadly (and up to more people in community to seek out too),
and as for the "closed" nature of email groups for them to be
complemented by more "open" forums and ways of, as I say minding the gap
of awareness and actions. More postings in Boston's IMC about forums
and general activities students and other community members are up to
would certainly be welcome. And all too oftens it appears an oston's
Indepenent media Center, www.boston.indymedia.org and IndyGlocal
(www.indymendia.org) are much underuntilized ny organizations and
individuals.

I'm about to update a dated act-events resource and I still have to
update AirwaveWEB flyer to include music related shows but if it's not
too odd I hope you don't mind my attempt to connect.

For Linda P., No Censorship Radio, the reason John

Disappointed to hear a note of surprise by Chuck regarding receiving

The first time I heard Amer Jubran speak at an opening talk for Noam
Chomsky. If I recall it was aired by Mark Weaver or NCR or during the
local edition...I was impressed enough to hear him recount his
experience but at the time didn't know about his nearly being attacked
while in Bristol County... Amer Jubran

We will discuss the enforcement and evasion of human-rights law in the
Americas. How is a concern for human rights reflected in the domestic
and foreign policy of various nations? How can government officials and
others be held accountable for violating human rights? In tackling
these questions our guests will help us look at things systematically
and in historical perspective.

NOAM CHOMSKY is an Institute Professor at MIT. Known for his
re-invention of linguistics, cognitive psychology, and aspects of
philosophy, he is equally (if not more) sought after for his analysis of
politics, the mass media, and US foreign policy. Over the decades, from
Vietnam and East Timor to Nicaragua and Haiti, Professor Chomsky has
helped expose the worst sins of
the biggest government.

JENNIFER HARBURY is a human-rights attorney who represents and
defends political prisoners in the US and elsewhere. After
graduating from Harvard Law School she worked in Central America
to protect refugees and others tormented by on-going violence.
Ever since the disappearance of her husband, a leader of the Mayan
resistance movement in Guatemala, she has also worked to expose
his killers and their official sponsors. Her struggle has helped
bring recognition for the thousands of other victims; it has
convinced the US Congress to investigate human-rights and other
abuses perpetrated by the US State Department and the CIA; and
it has forced the US Supreme Court to contemplate the
responsibility of US officials.

This event is the first part of our Spring Colloquium on Human
Rights, which
is co-sponsored by the MIT Large Event Fund, the MIT History
Faculty, the MIT Department of Political Science, the MIT
Anthropology Program, and the MIT Program in Writing and
Humanistic Studies."

The Green Scare by Julia Steinberger in The Thistle. Along the
lines of those who refer to this period as the "Age of Terror" there
are some who want to label Amer Jubran and anyone expressing something
they don't agree with as a threat, maybe to truth.

facility. While still in high school, Calero was convicted for attempting to sell marijuana to an undercover police officer. He served three years probation. Now, a permanent resident of the US for 12 years, Calero faces possible exclusion and deportation
based on the old charge. Monica Lopez reports from Houston."

Chinatown in Boston (add Liberty Place related organization reference as heard on NCR).

In the spirt of because: "generals are analysts and peace activist are adovcates" (a response Amy Goodman received and mentioned at a recent event) Independent Media at a Time of War (Gree

Amy Goodman on Media) on Wednesday, November 4, 2002.

Though I'm usually relatively organized virtually speaking I have still yet to locate a reference by either Norman Solomon, David Barsamian, Phillip Babich (all three connected in their pursuits and with Making Contact) whereby mention is given to Boston
public radio having 'two of the worst' and another noting the effective blockade on eastern (U.S) seaboard of independent media ( Alternative Radio on public radio stations aired by others).

At least Bill Moyer's NOW refers to "corporate media" in particular the segment about even less restriction on media consolidation.

Actually earlier in the day, there may be a meeting with Senator Kerry or someone from his office regarding sanctions and their effects on the people of Iraq, 3 p.m.

Ideally airing Noam Chomsky: Iraq, Israel, and the US:Oppression and Repression at Home and Abroad in its entirety but even if Democracy NOW! gave consideration to excerpts it would be welcome I suspect.

Amer Jubran was the introductory speaker. ("The Amer Jubran Defense Committee was formed in response to the illegal arrest and detention of Amer Jubran, a Palestinian human rights activist from Rhode Island.
It will remain active until Amer Jubran is released from INS custody and all proceedings against him have been dropped.")

Professor Noam Chomsky: "Iraq, Israel, and the US:
Oppression and Repression
at Home and Abroad", Tuesday, December 2 at 7:00 p.m. MIT 26-100 sponsored by the MIT Social Justice Cooperative (see for details) -aired b
y Martin Voelker, No-U-Turn Radio (Video and Tapes available), WMFO, Mark Weaver, WMBR, 'propaganda vaccine' included questions, and a portion on Thursday Local Edition of the News. Hopefully Democracy NOW! will air.

This was a rather lengthy question session, more of which was aired during NCR, 19 minutes comprised one person who began quite confrontational questioning Noam Chomsky's legitimacy as a linguist (mathematics, intellectual history among much more) to t
alk about Middle East. She began by saying 'how can you...'and in sucession claiming he was wrong on five points. When he wasn't being interrupted by her he responded to each in turn without ever asking her to repeat and even extended to a six.

He provided each with names, source references, even went back further in time than necessary in terms of historical context and remarked that he understated the case of one point.

At the end of the exchange she said 'you obviously have the facts' but I agree with Linda P. that it appeared to be less than an authentic apology.

Another question that comes to mind was aired during the hour or so question period provided during Mark Weaver's program. Someone said you certainly read a lot of papers, it's impressive'. "It's not impressive, it's a lot of hard work". He usualy en
ds each talk with stating it's all within reach for citizens to do what one can to affect change where one can realistcally change the course. Attention was called to prioritzing. Though he is aware of other parts of the world, Africa for instance, he fo
cus his attention. In Fateful Triangle he writes when asked for a title he can usally be sure the title 'Conflict in the Middle East' will be apt and relevant.

Amer Jubran (see Boston's IMC for details -another song for David Rovics maybe, 'you don't need corporate media, connected individuals, organizations and independent
media do just fine) did a phone interview with a Linda and Mark.

Chuck interviewed Jimmy Tingle (recorded this afternoon) who offered 5 pairs of tickets to his show. I liked the one about some people not taking public transportation because they miss the comforts of their car
so an idea is to have anyone who is going to say Cape Cod head to South Station, and then all the cars connect to form a train and get towed by one tow truck. You'd still get to enjoy the bumber-to-bumber effect!

Linda spoke with Matthew Pavonetti, Adbusters. Maybe: In conjuction with BND, how about 'refrain from corporate media day' (if you already do fine or as in the case of Howard Zinn who must endure listening to Bush
recite a speech for professional reasons) and extend the awareness of independenemt media, bookshops, music, food, etc.

For Boston BND, you know those paper bags complete with an ad of the name of the shop, maybe some stylish bags with creative thoughts afixed and groups of people walking back and forth along Newbury Street (slow like I recall most people on Oxford Street
in London doing) and because of the relatively narrow sidewalks in Boston you won't forcefully prevent anyone from consuming but maybe you slowdown some corporate profits.

Martin Voelker will most likely air his recording of Noam Chomsky from B-silber-U this Sunday morning on WZBC. Paths to Peace: Hopes and Barriers
by Noam Chomsky from Thursday, November 21, 2002.

The New England Committee to Defend Palestine"Amer and the rest of the NECDP will be picketing outside of the Israeli consulate [20 Park Plaza, near Arlington Center Trolley Station] this Monday in response to th

Also on Monday, a film at MIT, Room 6-120, and as usual the calendar doesn't list such events but... PALESTINE UNDER SEIGE: Richard Hugus' sensitive portrayal of the Palestinian reality includes scene
s of the destruction of Palestinian homes and the indomitable spirit of its people." Scott Cooper who was on WMBR's Local News this past Thursday recounted Amer Jubran's release (although physically out the chains of injustice remain. (see www.onepalesti
ne.org).

Recently the Infinite Mind had a program on touch, far reaching!
Touch and information regarding positive affects on low birth weight babies in terms of weight gain, etc.

I didn't realize that some of the Cambrdige Forums are uploaded to public radio, for instance I heard from Carla Brown on NCR, that Dr. Helen Caldicott
will soon most likely be heard by more people.

Also on NCR was a report produced by Aimee Smith (who I mistakingly named in Boston's IMC) and Mark Weaver regarding the Amer Jubran Defense Committe who were at INS in Boston on November 15, 2002 at 8:00 a.m.

Apparently free speech, public assembly, civil liberties when not confined to "forced zones" is viewed as a threat to misued and misguided power forces. See Boston's IndyMedia for more and One King is one too many (OnePalestine.org).

2 cents: If public radio, especially in the Boston area is either reasonably ignored (and you choose independent sources) because of its corp.., I mean underwriting bias or because of its narrow range of voices, literally and otherwise (just naming two ra
tional reasons) then this results in them remaining to carry on the same. Unlike corporate newspapers public radio can be challenged.

And when it is no longer accepted that vast expressions of reality are missing from "mass media", more accurately from corporate media and when more people, mass number of them, begin getting news from independent sources then awareness about Amer Jubran
will move beyond some active, concerned and dedicated citizens.

If you know of the sitcom Sanford and Son, there's a connection somewhere , maybe, Grady was taking care of the house and while cleaning he said: "Fred said for me to keep the house clean. I got to get it clean first!"

I wish I knew more about Dwayne Dickinson who gave moving account regarding Jill Stein out front of Suffolk University. Reminded me of the UMASS "free speech zone" (Mumia, debates, sidewalks...) when supporters of the-man-who-thinks or thought he
invented the Internet nearly pushed some people into the bay. I had a summary of the day from Boston Common and then Dudley to UMASS but lost to accidental escape key when editing on the fly rather than from file.

FSRN Autism and virus, mentioned but doctor who spoke was from a different perspective and in the time allowed hardly enough to discuss fully. For more: Dr. Bernard Rimland, Autism Society of America

He did refer me to his list server Day Light, contact Lorraine Fowlkes at 617-635-3510 (no email or online process noted) but though he and Scott Harris from Between the Lines are two of the few who come to
mind in responding I don't know him well enough to suggest a stronger bridge between street and Internet, AIRwaveWEB, etc. or general connections or complementing of what already exists with the WEB.

The intent of the above is to highlight an evolving process to expand upon local actions in those specific areas and further existing connections between Boston and Cambridge.

Posting in IndyMedia's Open Publishing Newswire can have the effect of an actual bulletin board, one way, closed communication. Rather than a topic, be it a news report or action or process being expanded
upon. In its current form facilitating and complmenting actual organizing
and strengthening of community is limited in this forum.

If IMC articles and Newswire
postings do not extend outward, to other organizations and
individuals, it is liklely to be limited as a means to broadley connect. Someone who does not know it exits or who does not use
Internet may be less likley to hear various views or inclined to continue
using primarily corporte media or continue their activist pursuits
independent of the IMC and other such media. Maybe leading to a dichotomy of
sorts. AirWaveWEB
will be trying as one way to connect (active) citizens, an attempt to smooth
things out.

Limited mention if any in IMC regarding another person being taken
into INS custody. A women in Boston who gave me a flyer about Roger
Calero (I think I heard of him from the event Independent Media at a Time of War (Green Festivals' Program
Schedule -that Martin aired) was unfamilar with the IMC.

I'm not implying that IMC denotes a mirror image of all that active citizen
have as concerns and actions. There's ways to connect and complment
each other from the airwave to the
streets, and Internet, etc.

FSRN connects via Pacifica's network, and as Deepa says along and over 50 communiy radio stations, and active listeners share
with other individuals and organizations.

Recurrent expressions of the sort shown on February 15th, 2003 are evident by the string of worldwide protests and various actions reported at the top of the Democracy NOW!, what has become a daily feature highlight.

I let Martin Voelker, No-U-Turn Radio, (http://wmfo.org, 91.5 FM, AirWaveWEB) know that I appreciate his efforts. I have been supportive mostly via electronic mail and I make frequent references in Web pages and in IndyMedia's Newswire but yesterday I had to call after he said on air that along with John Grebe, Sounds of Dissent (How many email addresses does he have?) were going to be airing Democracy NOW!

The possibility of hearing it before noon as aired by WZBC's daily weekday half-hour broadcast was quite welcome. I hung up so quick that I didn't get a chance to nag him about mentioning 'Znn and other of the likes of "officials says", "Washington-Media, corporate-'Amerika, etc. (by way of noting them in affect adding to already extensive name recognition but he mentioned lesser known independent media. He did mention IndyGlobal and Boston's IMC United for Just with Peace (their URL name changes have stabilized!) and United for Peace.

A form of Radiate in Peace (RIP) is needed to connect broadly such efforts with various forms of independent media, etc.

Z Magazine, Znet... is a fine example of extensive resources and in the case of February 15, 2003 the site had a connection link to the worldwide actions.

Any banner, especially one that is likely to be seen by many people, not just those who presumably are already active news seekers or have a degree of informed dissent and awareness and support of independent media, unlike (See Deterring Democracy, etc.) "Newspaper of Record" but together in addition to a banner sound bite of sorts have a web resource that radiates to many references, gateway to connect various resources, one-to-many, can be beneficial.

A banner message complemented with for example, www.radioateinpeace.org or an existing web site, www.unitedforperace.org.

Also there was much that was noted in the brief and concise talks by the speakers yesterday at MIT in front of student center across from 77 Mass. Avenue, but I don't recall any reference to anything other than 'the media". Why not make a reference to Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (F.A.I.R) and others who complement with actions from research and reflections on practice by corporate media and independent media sources and media activist resources ( media matters, limited at this time).

post date: 02/27/2003 11.949 'POLITICS, JUSTICE, and SOCIAL CHANGE' STREAMED OVER INTERNET
New MIT-Harvard course on "Politics, Justice, and Social Change." Spring 2003. Instructors: Noam Chomsky, Archon Fung, and Dara O'Rourke. This introductory course, appropriate for both undergraduates and masters students, will explore equality and justice in contemporary contexts that include U.S. foreign policy, the distribution of wealth and income, racial and gender politics, and the environment. The course also analyzes why democratic polities accept extensive injustice, and concludes by presenting strategies of response: social movements, institutional reform, and electoral politics.

'NRP yesterday had focus on the improvements made to Patriot, its ability to "hit a bullet with a bullet" and much else so-called improvements, depending or your focus and priorities given to humanity. If only some of the same innovations could focus on infrastructure; I hear water system piping and such in the United States is becoming a major concern but no time to mention such things or decaying school buildings or the cities and towns that forego retaining such structures and choose to build centralized schools as Medford, MA is doing. As it is many parents drive their children a block or so but now that one school is over by outskirts or mostly near route 16 commercial area, Hormel Stadium, I suspect it will be necessary for even those who used to walk their children to school to used their fossil fuel transporter.

Beyond For and Against or various shades or gray are missing in the "this group supports...", hardly any sort of nuances provided as noted by 'NRP yesterday...

Tikkun "gets its name from the Hebrew word, "tikkun," which means "to transform, heal and repair." This concept was developed in the Zohar, a central text of the Kabbalah, to refer to the kind of healing and transformation of the world, "tikkun olam," in which each of us can participate."
